agent infrastructure

durable sessions, orchestration, and review for coding agents.

agents do their best work when the environment around them is boring: durable sessions that survive a closed laptop, one writer per machine, commands recorded before they run, and a human who can review before anything lands.

this category collects what i've learned building the tooling i run every day — session custody, idempotent command records, isolated provider accounts, and live control — and where the sharp edges still are.

projects

oompa — durable codex and claude sessions with one fenced writer per machine.
ghostget — typed web operations for agents instead of raw browser access.
direct — repeatable app states so agents can verify ui without a staging environment.

planned lessons

one writer per session: custody, leases, and crash recovery
record the mutation before you dispatch it
isolated provider accounts and clean handoffs
deterministic verification loops an agent can trust
live control: steering a running agent without forking it

these lessons are planned, not published. each ships as a page under this category when it is written.
